Prompt 22 Venue Coordination Brief for Coordinators

Context/Tips

Wedding coordinators are your best allies.
If you've shot at the venue before, reference that in the opening line.

Expected Outcome

An email that makes coordinators want to work with you again.

The Prompt

Using the Studio Voice Blueprint and Linguistic Filter from Chapter 1, I'm a wedding photographer. I need to send a brief to the wedding coordinator at [VENUE] before the wedding on [DATE]. The couple's names are [NAMES].

I need the coordinator to know the following for photography purposes:
- My arrival time: [TIME]
- The first look location (if applicable): [LOCATION]
- The ceremony setup: [E.G., outdoor ceremony, indoor, specific altar arrangement]
- Family portrait location: [WHERE]
- Any lighting challenges I've identified: [E.G., dark ceremony space, harsh midday sun]
- Specific moments I need the coordinator's help with timing: [E.G., signaling me when the flower girl is ready]

Write a polite, professional email that is clear without being demanding. Assume the coordinator has a dozen vendors to manage—be respectful of their time but make your needs concrete.

Apply the Linguistic Filter. Do NOT include photography tips or editing requests. Keep the focus on timing, positioning, and moments where the coordinator's help makes or breaks a shot.
